Common essentials include a smartphone for navigation and communication, a headlamp for visibility, and a power bank to recharge devices. Many hikers also carry GPS devices, smartwatches with navigation features, and headphones for entertainment. For safety, consider a personal locator beacon or satellite communicator, especially in remote areas.
A power bank ensures your devices, such as smartphones, GPS units, and headlamps, stay charged during longer hikes. Choose a capacity (like 10,000–20,000 mAh) based on trip length and device needs. Reliable power is crucial for navigation, emergency contact, and capturing memories when outlets are unavailable.
Modern smartphones are highly effective for navigation, offering GPS, maps, and route tracking apps. However, battery life can be a limitation, so carry a power bank and consider offline maps. For rugged or extended trips, a dedicated GPS device may offer better durability and battery performance.
Smartwatches provide real-time stats like distance, elevation, heart rate, and sometimes GPS navigation. Advanced models include topographic maps, weather updates, and emergency alerts. They’re lightweight and convenient, but should be paired with a smartphone or GPS for comprehensive navigation support.
For remote or backcountry hikes where cell service is unreliable, carrying a satellite communicator or personal locator beacon (PLB) is recommended. These devices allow you to send emergency signals and GPS coordinates to rescuers, providing peace of mind and safety in case of an emergency.
Wired earbuds are preferred by many hikers for their reliability and low power consumption. Wireless headphones are convenient but require frequent charging and can be easier to lose. Choose headphones that allow you to remain aware of your surroundings for safety on the trail.
Prioritise lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant devices. Bring only what you need: navigation, communication, lighting, and power. Pack compatible charging cables, wall adapters, and protective cases. Always balance convenience and safety with the weight and space available in your pack.
